WhiteRaven

WhiteRaven White Raven is a Shelby County Cottage Bakery focused on all things sourdough, plus a few things that aren't. Located in Shelbyville, Illinois. Hi!

Owned by Jamie Rutherford, baker, artist, author, pharmacy technician. I'm Jamie, and I've lived in Shelbyville for most of my adult life. I started baking for my family shortly after moving here, even trying my hand at a sourdough starter. Sourdough and I have gotten along pretty well! Caught in life's ups and down, I took a break from baking, but now, I am happy to be back at it. About a year ag

o, my current starter was 'born', as was the idea for White Raven. I have a Master's degree in Fine Arts (painting), and I am also a certified pharmacy technician. And now, I am a certified and registered cottage baker.

Welcome to White Raven, Artisan Bread. My name is Jamie, and I'm a cottage baker in Shelby County, IL. I am also an artist, an author, and a pharmacy technician. I guess, I like to be busy, and I like to make things. All kinds of things. I have baked for my family for years, but last year, I decided...

Just a heads-up up, while I am trying to get regular porch pick-ups going, for now, they are going to be sporadic. Between markets, my work schedule, and just life, it's been a little hectic. My next market should be August 15th in Shelbyville. Thanks!!

I'll be there!

I'll be there!

If you make or grow stuff, we’d love you to be apart of our farmer’s market!

Please share!! We need more vendors to make this possible! ❤️

I'll be set up here! Mark you calendars!

APPARENTLY Facebook puts a cap on how many people you can invite to an event. Rude, honestly. I told you to invite your friends... but you're all my friends... so now I have to invite you from here instead :((

Come hang out with us on August 22nd! Let's shop vintage, find cute little trinkets, and have the best day together.

And I know some of you have your favorite vendors tucked away for a rainy day when someone asks for recommendations...

Well, it's pouring. Tag them below or send them our way; we're still looking for awesome vendors to join us!

Unfortunately, I realized I have to work Saturday, July 25th. So, no Moweaqua market for me that weekend :( I am going to try to have some things ready for a porch pick-up in Shelbyville though. Either Saturday afternoon after the market(and work) or Sunday morning. Any preferences?

So the big grocery stores have been jumping on the sourdough train. They want you to think it's the same...it's not the same. All those extra words to keep it sitting on the shelf longer or make it seem more like true sourdough.

Real sourdough doesn't need extra vitamins added back in. It doesn't need souring agents, because it gets its flavor honest.

Support your own health, support your local baker, even if it isn't me. 😀
